Building Industry Alliances & Partnerships
We’re breaking new ground
For five decades, we’ve worked on behalf of Ontario’s concrete masonry producers to build an industry as strong and as enduring as the products it manufactures. Now, as a Canada-wide body with national membership, we’re making our industry stronger. Introducing the Canadian Concrete Masonry Producers Association — CCMPA.
Today, technology and innovation are presenting our industry with great opportunities — and considerable challenges. As CCMPA, we will provide the inclusive representation and strong voice necessary to ensure that we meet those challenges, and that our products remain the building material of choice.
Canadian Masonry Research Council
The council is a strategic directive by the CMDC and CCMPA to consolidate their individual research activities into a collaborative partnership will create a single point of contact for masonry research. The CMRC will simplify the proposal process for Canadian researchers and linking their work with the industry’s aspirations, increasing the likelihood of successful commercialization of their new innovations and discoveries.
